Just another day at the beach? Not exactly. If you're into teen dramas that involve something a little different than a love triangle and supernatural vampires, Netflix's new live-action comedy 'Malibu Rescue: The Series' may be just the thing for you. The show promises a lot of good old fashioned adolescent fun on the beach and will follow the story after 'Malibu Rescue', a Netflix movie that is set to premiere on May 13, later this month. Although it is unclear if this is a spin-off, it definitely has those 'Bring It On' vibes.

Here's everything you need to know.

Release date
